About
The character '捞', traditionally written as '撈', combines the hand radical '扌' to indicate actions performed by hand with the phonetic element '劳' that cues its sound. Its original sense centered on the concrete activity of fishing out or retrieving items from water, but over time its usage extended to describe the act of obtaining or securing things, often with connotations of informal or illicit acquisition, thereby shifting from a purely physical reference to one encompassing abstract notions of procurement and benefit.
